  • Contribute to internal projects, including development of dashboards, front-end applications, and analytical tools

  • Apply best practices in version control, CI/CD, and cloud infrastructure management

  • Identify opportunities to improve processes, systems, and data quality across the business

Requirements:

  • Familiarity with version control (Git), CI/CD concepts, and BI tools (e.g., Tableau)

  • Experience handling large, inconsistent, or non-standard datasets with attention to accuracy and detail

  • Understanding of medallion architecture and related data concepts

  • Knowledge of ML or LLM applications, front-end development (Streamlit, Dash, React), or financial reporting is a plus

  • Typically 3-5 years' experience in a Data Engineer or equivalent role
